abstract：:Whereas benign leiomyoma of the uterus (fibroid) is very common, malignant degeneration of such fibroids to leiomyosarcoma is rare. Anatomical imaging with CT or MRI cannot differentiate between larger leiomyoma and leiomyosarcoma. Imaging with F-FDG PET/CT can be helpful in differentiating the two. High-grade F-FDG u...
